The Russo Brothers said Hawkeye does have his own journey in Infinity War, and the common speculation is that he will actually assume the Ronin persona.

Calling it now: He will be absent until the third act until he saves someone in the Ronin costume. He'll make a quip about being busy and then launch a crazy splinter arrow. They will not discuss it further.

Guy Goodbody posted:God, that was terrible. All the best Hawkeye comics are about Hawkeye being a slutty fuckup. But in Avengers 2 they gave him a family, ruling out using those stories later and completely changing the character. And the only narrative purpose of doing that was to make Black Widow feel worse about being a barren monster. Yeah, it was a bit sad - the Hawkeye break was good in Ultron, but it was totally abandoning the awesome character of Hawkeye from the comics. Especially strange given the huge acclaim it'd been getting.

Didn't Green Arrow in the comic lose his arm and almost immediately sacrificed himself to stop a bomb, resulting in a few years in comic death?

I'm pretty sure Whedon was done with the MCU after Ultron and after...well...I don't think Marvel would even want him back.

There was that parallel universe comic where Green Arrow lost an arm and was paralysed in a superhero fight and later became this anti-superhero activist. It's shown in a flashback framed by a news report. Green Arrow's told, "This killer robot might be more than you can handle," but he says, "No way! I want to prove I'm more than just a guy with a bow and arrows!" Then he gets wrecked and it cuts back the newscaster essentially saying (regrettably not in these exact words), "Unfortunately, he was just a guy with a bow and arrows."

Lobok posted:Is Tag the story behind It? Are you referring to the long-form article about the group of friends who have been playing a decades long game of tag? Then yes, that's what this movie is based on. Couldn't find the longford I had read, but this is from a shorter article from 4 years ago: http://mynorthwest.com/30631/two-decade-game-of-tag-keeps-group-of-friends-together/ quote:The group, members of which include corporate vice-presidents, atttorneys, and even a priest, have been ranging all over the U.S. and even Europe every February- hatching elaborate schemes- like one that concluded with an injury.

Superman ripped Green Arrow's arm in The Dark Knight Returns, he fires a kryptonite arrow at him when he's confronting Batman. Roy Harper, who was his sidekick and went by Speedy, Arsenal and, eventually, Red Arrow, did lose an arm but got replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic. Hawkeye tends to be deaf in the main Marvel continuity, but, for some reason, writers like to make him blind or almost blind in Alternate Future storylines. This was your daily reminder that comics are dumb.

Taking him at his word, even if he didn't want to mine the decades of Batgirl stories for ideas, I love the idea that he couldn't come up with a "young action lady" story, which has been his TV bread and butter for years.

They can't keep on doing these movies so generically action hero film. How about making it Batgurl and give the film to someone like John Cameron Mitchell or Lee Daniels. While Wonder Woman was good, at best, it wasn't anything bold or visionary. Take what Marvel did with Thor Ragnarok and Black Panther, and give it to auteurs with a unique voice, and then give them complete freedom.

First they butcher Suicide Squad in editing, then ruin Justice League with reshoots, and finally reject Josh Whedon's Batgirl script just because of all the scenes where a middle-aged bald man massages Batgirl's feet.

There are a number of reasons Whedon could have been fired. He failed to make Justice League into a box office success while at the same time pissing off DCEU fans. His ex publicly talked about him cheating on her with actresses he promised with better jobs in Hollywood, all this while they were selling WW as a feminist movie and having just kicked out Brett Ratner. Whedon's history with Marvel also showed he's just not compatible with a "cinematic universe" plan involving multiple filmmakers. Here is a poster:

Especially strange given the huge acclaim it'd been getting. I liked that it acknowledged that (the film version of) Hawkeye isn't on the same level as the other superheroes, but that grants him the right to a normal life with a wife and kids etc. Captain America realizes that ubermensch like himself are inhuman and can never have what Hawkeye has, while Tony Stark fails to make peace with this reality and stubbornly swears he could if he wanted. Elsewhere, Black Widow and Hulk also come to terms with their abnormality and redefine companionship/family as demigods. It's the only good part of the movie.
